You'll always get better results when you use multiple spectrums. The best results come from a "blue" and a "purple" bulb. I personally like the results I've gotten from Geissman Actinic+ (blue) and their Pure Actinic (purple). I've never personally used the KZ purple but I have seen them on tanks (that also used blue LEDs) so I can't really comment on them.

Sorry, Wasn't meant towards you. Was just saying he has a combo fixture in case anyone had first hand experience with a bulb combo.

this comes from The Grim Reefer's Website
"The good actinics IMO are UVL Super Actinic, ATI Actinic, Sfigioli Super Blue Actinic, all which have a slightly bluer look and the Giesemann Pure Actinic which is more of a violet look"

I'll probably use 2 stunners for led supplement. This way I can integrate them into the fixture where the T5's are located.
Right now I am Running a 10k halide but swithching over to a pheonix 14k.
And yes. I am noticing what you are talking about with the t5's not cutting through the halide.
I have not had a MH for a few years now. I must say I am loving having one again. There is just no substitute IMO.

Like some others said, u might want to play with 1 Fiji purple in the mix. Especially once u go phoenix 14k.
Do all 4 t5 go on from the one switch?

dont waste your money on the stunner strips, they will not penetrate thru the halide..
